A Tweet from Maddy Warren, our Brand Ambassador.
“In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, it is more vital than ever that vulnerable patients & their families are able to keep away from hospital environments & innovative MedTech solutions help to alleviate their worries” ➡️🏠

[tookie @tookieco]

Tookie products will reduce the risk of repeated visits to hospital and maintain shielding of vulnerable patients. We do not want to see lines fallout out/being pulled out and for patients to revisit a hospital unnecessarily - especially when this can now be avoided 🙌

[tookie @tookieco]

We continue to develop a range of practical solutions for your line safety and comfort, designed for patients for both hospital but also more importantly home use, enhancing patient quality of life by alleviating the anxiety around potential line fall-out #ALifeMoreNormal 🏡

[tookie @tookieco]

Putting in place such interventions prevents unnecessary hospital admissions & other costly, undesirable consequences, allowing patients & carers to lead #ALifeMoreNormal 🙌

[tookie @tookieco]

Tookie offers a portfolio of products and continue to develop new designs including personalised as well as bespoke interventions, as what works for one individual might not work for another...

“I have been wearing Tookie Nephrostomy Shorts, comfortable, they meet the needs of nephrostomy patients & the drainage bags are held securely. Most of the time I am not aware I am wearing them & can now wear my shirt inside of my trousers, thus, looking and feeling normal.” 😊

“When I left hospital after a double nephrostomy, I was using a tape around my waist (hospital supplied) to suspend the drainage bags - not ideal as when the bags filled up, tension on the tape caused soreness”

[tookie @tookieco]

“Tookie already have a number of products available that are making a real difference to patient lives on a daily basis & they continue to develop more products with the patient’s needs at the centre of their designs.”

“Families fear the dislodgment of the devices in both children & adults that will nearly always result in interruption of vital treatment & a visit to hospital for re-insertion of the devices.”

[tookie @tookieco]

We would like to thank & praise all NHS staff who have always selflessly put our health above their own, now more than ever. We take part in releasing pressure off NHS workers during this time by avoiding unnecessary visits & save valuable resources. 👉 https://t.co/4pmtrCRtPo

Another wonderful testimonial we have published: "It was a pleasure to see how positively the patient was impacted, and I look forward to seeing the effects on other children here at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital"-Emma Howarth, Senior Oncology R N https://t.co/gMfTyp9ShE

"My child has a central line that can become easily contaminated, if this happens, then it could potentially cause my child to have life threatening sepsis. The Tookie vest has given me peace of mind that it is tucked away securely, to minimalise the risk of becoming infected."

Tookie is so grateful to all those involved especially the amazing involvement of the family to support our Super Hero product designs 😊 #ALifeMoreNormal

[NIHR HRC in Paediatrics and Child Health @NIHRChildrenHRC]

We've been working with @tookieco on a project to produce a bespoke Tookie garment for a patient with highly complex needs at @SheffChildrens, aka "The Tookie Superhero". Take a look at our progress, designs and what the family had to say so far!

Our Tookie products support vulnerable people undergoing treatment requiring vascular access and line insertions - those who really need to avoid hospitals and remain at home while continuing to lead #ALifeMoreNormal #StayAtHomeSaveLives #NHSheroes https://t.co/5WES5UAlce ♾
